This Book makes you want to keep reading. The book does not grab your attention till the middle of the book. You have to read the first few chapters till you get into the book. After you don’t want to put the book down. When you find out the daisy Buchanan has an affair you are shocked and want to find out what happens next.
I can related to daisy because she has been waiting for jay Gatsby for a long time since the war but had to move on. I relate to it because I liked my best friend and waited to see if he felt the same way. Then one day just had to move on. Then after I found out. Just like daisy did she found out he still was in love with her and end up getting together behind her husband’s back to have the affair.
The struggles that jay and daisy had to hide their affairs showed how much the truly loved each other. Even though she didn’t love her husband and knew he was having an affair with Myra the still stayed together. Everyone knew about his affair but didn’t know about jay and daisy. It was unlike an affair I have heard or read about. They were deeply in love with one another.

This book you should read because it talk about love and has a drama plot. You could connect to this book if you ever loved someone and can’t hide the feelings anymore. I suggest this book if you’re looking for dramatic plot. It will certainly show you how to love.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby establishes characterization through an intimate relationship between Daisy and Gatsby without ever explicitly discussing about it. When the two became lovers, Gatsby was surprised to discover that "it didn't turn out as he had imagined.” However, he did feel as though they were married after this encounter. This conveys an aspect of how Gatsby fell in love with Daisy’s allure rather than her personality and was blindly obsessed with being with her. Shortly later, the two are split apart for a length of time and end up reuniting after five years. It is suggested that they resume their sexual relationship and their affair is purely physical with no substance behind it. Once again, Gatsby fails to…

    First, when Jay and Daisy first reunited after 5 years of being apart, Jay was shown to be quite nervous in the book waiting and preparing for Daisy’s arrival for tea. In the 2013 movie, Jay was ready to bail and leave, insisting Daisy wouldnt show up for tea at Nick’s place, despite it only being two minutes before four. His nervous state in the new movie had corresponded to the scene, illustrated in the book, better than the 1974 adaptation. In addition, Jay feared how the weather would be like when Daisy arrives, relaying the forecast from the newspaper that the rain would stop in time for her…
